Great Rivalries

Post by Grant »

I know we talk about the era of Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard and fighters of that division in that time Hearns etc.
But I'm thing of two champions in a smaller division who really had a crack, Olivares and Castillo. Does anyone remember seeing those?

We were very lucky during than era

I was a baby for the great Ruben Olivares vs Chucho Castillo rivalry. But, I saw fights #1 and #2 on YouTube and they were great contests. Very exciting wars between two Mexican fighters that knew how to fight inside. Fighting inside is A LOST ART NOWADAYS. Today's boxers don't have that. They should look at those fights to learn the inside fighting game. Fight #3 between Olivares vs Castillo is not available on YouTube.
